Hi Reader, Grimacing with pain and walking slowly, Farmer Reuben entered the kitchen. "I didn’t do anything hard this morning." Moving empty market boxes and twisting and lifting was all it took to strain Reuben’s back and send him to the house to rest. The story continues... We Are Open!

Hi Reader, Imagine you are 6 years old. What's the first thing you want to do when you get out of bed in the morning? Keep thinking. At 7 am I emerged from my room to a silent house. This is not normal. I called my kid's names. No response. I checked all the rooms and all the beds. No one. Were they outside in the yard? The swings hung still and the slide was empty.

Hi Reader, When I found out that Vince drove almost to Ohio to an organic farm and flour mill, I can't say I was shocked. He does that kind of thing. (Ok. I know Ohio isn't 9 hours away but he had to drive back too, right?) Asking "WHY?" was the next obvious action. The story continues... We Are Open!

Hi Reader, Fresh, crisp lettuce and vitamin packed kale is already being picked. Napa cabbage, broccoli, bok choy, radish and rhubarb are next. Organic strawberries from Farmer Leroy will ripen in this hot weather and be ready for Market Box members any day. (Members get first dibs!) Nutrient dense greens are bursting with life in our field. I'm using them in my 5 day Detox smoothies this week: kale, cilantro, lemons and even greenhouse grown cucumbers are perfectly timed. Cherry tomatoes...

Hi Reader, I finally did what I promised. Taking my girls out for birthday shopping kept being delayed because of farm activities. I said I would take them last Saturday, but I got pulled into setting up a tent at Rodale’s Spring Market event. Even a unique situation on the farm last night caused me to detour as we started to drive away. A fight. The story continues... We Are Open!

Hi Reader, A snake in the greenhouse! Terrified? Not at all. Farmer Reuben welcomed the garter snake and the sense of security it gave us. You see, if a snake is present, we can be sure that the mice will stay away and our newly planted seeds will be safe. Unfortunately, the snake must have moved on because earlier this week...

Hi Reader! The young, aspiring reporter met Reuben and Bill at a boring township meeting. Now Olivia Marble is following this lead wherever it takes her. After the zoning meeting in Upper Macungie Township, a young lady with a microphone attached to her iphone stopped Farmer Reuben and Bill Kuklinski, the owner of the building at 8150 Hamilton Boulevard. After that interview she looked up our farm and found out about our Foster A Chick program. She came out to the farm to see the families...
